Experiment-20: HSS-17

Experiment Type:

Large Scale

Description:

This specimen has the same geometry as the other two specimens with tapered plates (HSS-10 and HSS-13) except the thickness of the gusset plate has changed from 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch. This specimen performed very well and the ultimate failure mode was brace fracture during the tension cycle.
